Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed Adobe C2pa componentsLocate any installed C2pa-related libraries, packages, or tools on the system. Check for files named libc2pa, c2pa, or related packages in common installation directories and package managers.Affected if Any Adobe C2pa library, web module, or command-line tool is found on the system
-
Check Adobe C2pa library versionRun the appropriate version command for the installed C2pa library (such as checking package metadata, library version info, or using the tool's --version flag if available).Affected if The installed version is 0.84.0 or lower
-
Check Adobe C2pa Web versionExamine the package.json, manifest, or module version file for any installed C2pa Web component.Affected if The installed version is 0.7.0 or lower
-
Check Adobe C2patool versionExecute the c2patool command with --version or -v, or check the installed package version via the system's package manager.Affected if The installed version is 0.17.0 or lower

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement comprehensive input validation and sanitization across all user-controlled input paths, using allowlists and proper bounds checking to reject malformed data before processing.
